Edward Barnwell Heyward (1826-1871) grew up at Rose Hill Plantation during the winter and Charleston in the summer. He was well educated and traveled extensively in Europe after college, very much Southern aristocracy as a successful rice planter and large slaveholder. “Barney” enlisted in the Confederate Army and served as lieutenant of engineers along the coastal regions of South Carolina. At the beginning of the war, his father Charles and many of the Negroes from the Combahee plantations refugeed at Goodwill Plantation, where Heyward lived with his wife (Lucy Izard) before the war. Two sets of microfilm records dated 1865 pardoning both said Heyward and his brother, Charles. There is much excellent history online about him and his family.
